"Where does this smell come from? Why does it smell so good?"
"Yeah, the smell of someone's cooking has drifted all the way to the suburbs."
The soldiers outside the carriage all sat by the dead tree, chewing on their bread and sniffing, taking in the aroma of the food. "This smells so good! Are we hallucinating? We just left Qingzhou and we're already missing the food there."
"This smell seems to be coming from the little doctor's carriage. It's likely that the prince had someone prepare a special meal for the little doctor."
The soldiers ate the cakes with envy.
After a while, the wheels began to roll and the carriage continued to move forward.
Prince Qing took the water bag handed to him by Eunuch Liu, took a sip, and immediately spat it out, "Cough cough cough!"
He couldn't stop coughing and retching, the corners of his eyes stained red. He glanced at Eunuch Liu, "Where's Ruanruan? I asked you to call the young doctor over, why hasn't he come yet? Cough cough cough..."
"Your Highness...Prince Xiao said that your illness only requires medicine. If there is no serious problem, even if the little doctor comes, it will be useless." Eunuch Liu did not dare to tell Prince Qing what Xiao Qinbei said. If Prince Qing heard it, he might be so angry that he vomited blood.
Prince Qing took a deep breath, grabbed the teacup on the low table and slammed it to the ground, as if the emotions that had been pent up for a long time suddenly burst out.
"Get out! Get out of here. I don't need you anymore."
Eunuch Liu was startled and immediately knelt down, "Your Highness, please calm down. Your Highness, please don't be angry. Your health is more important."
Prince Qing's shoulders and chest rose and fell with his breathing. He slowly lay back on the couch and sat there in a daze.
Eunuch Liu then stood up, picked up the cloak that had fallen beside the couch, patted the dust off it, and covered Prince Qing's shoulders with it.
"Your Highness, please don't catch a cold. If the Imperial Concubine saw you like this, she would be heartbroken."
Prince Qing curled his lips and smiled, "Eunuch, you are wrong... My mother doesn't care about me."
The only thing his mother cared about was the throne.
Eunuch Liu was shocked when he heard this. "Your Highness, what are you talking about? You are the Imperial Concubine's only child. How could the Imperial Concubine not care about you?"
Prince Qing waved his hand and said, "Go out. I need some quiet time."
Eunuch Liu bent down and saluted Prince Qing, then turned and left the carriage.
Prince Qing held the back of his head with one hand, not knowing what method Xiao Qinbei had used to actually convince Prince Jin to bring Ruanruan back to the capital.
Prince Jin didn't use such a good trump card and just handed it to Xiao Qinbei.
Could it be that Xiao Qinbei agreed to form an alliance with Prince Jin?
If that were the case, it would be very bad for him.
…
Three days later, in the afternoon.
Ruan Jingye and Xiao Shunan were sitting on the sofa playing games, while Ruanruan and Zhao Chengqian were eating snacks and watching cartoons next to them.
"Have you got it? This mobile game is very simple." Ruan Jingye stretched his neck to look at the screen of the phone held by Xiao Shunan.
"This small piece of board is so magical. You can actually play with it like this! It's like there's a world inside it." Xiao Shunan looked at Ruan Jingye with surprise on his face, his eyes sparkling with excitement because of this new thing.
Ruan Jingye continued to explain the rules of the game to him, "Look at this map on the screen. There are two camps, one is the red team, and the other is the blue team."
"These towers are similar to the cities of their respective countries. As long as you take down the opponent's tower, that is, conquer the opponent's city, and reach this final point, you will win."
"However, during this process, the opponent will resist and there will be some consumption. If you want to get supplies or enhance your skills, you can fight the monsters next to you..." Ruan Jingye talked a lot.
Xiao Shunan nodded, "Oh oh oh, I see."
"You can practice first and take your time." Ruan Jingye told him how to play and click.
"Click" the door outside the house opened, and Mr. Ruan and Ruan Qichuan walked over.
Old Master Ruan stroked his beard, looked at the scene, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Hey, it's rare to see such a lively atmosphere at home..."
"Grandpa, Dad, you're back." Ruanruan looked up at the old man behind the sofa and Ruan's father happily.
Mr. Ruan sat down on the sofa, hugged Ruanruan and said with a smile: "What did Ruanruan do at home today? Was it fun?"
"It's fun! My uncle, my brother-in-law and I went to work in grandma's vegetable garden..." The little girl started talking softly.
Ruan Jingye picked up the remote control next to him and pressed it, and a familiar face appeared on the TV screen.
The man, wearing a hospital gown, his face bandaged with white gauze and his arm in a cast, shouted at the camera: "I didn't do anything! They did all that!"
"Why are you arresting me?"
"Didn't you see all the wounds on my body? They almost crippled me."
Several law enforcement officers in uniform and hats stood around the man.
The host on the screen spoke forcefully, "Recently, Xin, the president of the Xin Group, was blackmailed and even seriously injured. He couldn't stand it any longer and called the police. They discovered he was involved in multiple criminal cases... and that the company was evading taxes, even issuing various unfair contracts and gambling agreements, defrauding and extorting artists and employees. There are multiple victims within the company..."
"This case is still under investigation, and Xin has been brought to justice."
Ruan Jingye raised his eyes and glanced at Ruan Qichuan beside him, "Brother, your speed is amazing. The man was caught so quickly."
Ruan Qichuan took off his suit jacket, unbuttoned his sleeves and folded them over his wrists, took the remote control from Ruan Jingye's hand, and changed the channel.
The host explained, "The Xin Group's stock market plummeted today..."
Ruan Jingye leaned in front of Xiao Shunan's phone screen and said, "Yes, yes, you go to the confrontation lane. Not bad, kid. You play this game very smoothly."
"Did you practice secretly?"
Xiao Shunan smiled, slid his knuckles quickly while holding the phone, and immediately used a skill.
"Is this difficult? Isn't it very simple as long as you understand the rules here?" Xiao Shunan asked him back, looking up.
"Just use a few skills." He quickly slid the buttons on the screen and spoke.
Ruan Jingye looked at his four fingers that slid away into invisibility, curled his lips, and fell silent for a moment, "Well, it's really not difficult for you."
"Jing Ye, can you please teach your child some good things every day and not lead him astray?" Old Master Ruan glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly.
Ruan Jingye: "Dad, let's just play. What boy doesn't play games?"
"How long will it take you to get to Bian Jing?" Ruan Qichuan looked at Xiao Shunan and asked.
"If we don't go with my father, it will take us at least two and a half months to get there on foot." Xiao Shunan thought for a while and said.
His father had an imperial order to help the emperor eliminate the traitors who were rebelling against the country, so he would not be able to return to Beijing until later.
